Seriously? o_O You don't even have a PS3, X-Box 1, or PS4?

That's cool. I personally could not live without BD. Everything looks superior, but more importantly, the audio is far crisper and the discs are made of a much thicker material. Not to mention it cuts down on the disc count. Oh, and black and white movies look so damn good.

Nevertheless, it makes sense why you are excited for it to come out at the end of the year. I will continue to wait for a BD release like I am with Turn A. I just can't support an inferior format when a superior version exists.

Anyway, I spent the evening watching the first two discs to SEED. The show starts off a little slow but it begins to improve after Lacus Clyne shows up. In fact, she is my favorite character of the show thus far. I just love how she is so open to everyone's feelings, even the little psycho selfish ****bag who is just one white robe short Flay. God I hate that little bitch!!! The Gundams are kind of cool even though most of them haven't done much so far, but the series really is just a remake of the original show up to this point. Kira also seems to shed tears a lot even when there is no reason to. Athrun is pretty cool though and La Cruset is a really good Char clone. Ramius is just Bright 2.0, but she is a likable character while I'm not sure what to thing about Badger. She seems to have a wodden paddle stuck up her ass. Mu La Flaga is cool to. The animation is a vast improvement over the series from the 90s and the soundtrack rocks, especially the opening and ending songs. On the other hand, do they really need to have a flashback scene in every episode?

Don't be a snob about it man. I like to buy BD over DVD too, but lines like:

Yeah, kind of comes off snobby. Not everyone has a blu-ray player or access to one, I have immediate relatives who don't own blu-ray players. I didn't even get a PS4 myself until late last year. So I can see where the BD releases wouldn't be something everyone would be after or even able to view. No reason to rub it in or act like that doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense. Ultra 4K stuff is on the horizon now and I'm not buying into that nonsense, not when DVD & Blu-Ray are still fully alive & well formats.

I personally dispute the fact that Blu-Rays are "superior" in every way to DVDs.

I'll concede that from a pure technical standpoint there's no denying that Blu Rays are superior.

But in terms of function I honestly couldn't tell a difference between my Spiderman 3 BD and one of my DVDs running on the same machine when it came to picture or audio quality.

And looking at comparisons on the net most of them looked identical save for 2 one where the Blu-Ray version looked better....and one where the DVD version looked better.

You realize that those machines are expensive, and not everyone can afford or wants to upgrade to a new console every generation right?

Just to bring this topic back on track, the new TRY OVA is going to be starting in August:

So I'm building the Full Armor Gundam from Thunderbolt and I've been noticing something. No matter how perfectly I try to readjust the legs, from some angle, one always look slightly longer then another and the legs aren't even. Am I just bad at gunpla or am I obsessing over nothing?

Today I got a box that had a box in it that had another box in it that had a slip case with a case in it. :-p

Hey can someone please tell how you'd apply the Waff's eye because it looks like it's either on a water slide or rub on, and I really don't know how to do those.

Gundam Thunderbolt - Damn. DAMN!!! That was dark, really dark. It is probably by far the darkest Gundam series ever made and that is part of what made it so good. Who is the bigger villain? The Zeons for using crippled soldiers or the Federation for using children? It doesn't matter because both sides are messed up and this movie does a fantastic job of showcasing the true horrors of war. It was very unique and original in its approach of showcasing another battle during the One Year War, which also means you don't need a ton of background on what is going on because you already know what is happening. The Gundam pilot is flat out an asshole while the main Zeon soldier is easily the most likable character in the movie because they do so much to develop him through visuals instead of dialog, which is a nice change of pace. Another thing I liked is it shows how much a long standing war can break people apart as you really feel like they have been doing this for way too long. The animation is down right gorgeous and is some of the best animation in the franchise. Surprisingly, even the audio depite only being in 2.1 stereo, was better than a lot of 5.1 audio tracks. Not to mention the music is very effective and done with great finess.

My only complaint towards the BD is the didn't subtitle the god damned bonus disc documentary, making it unwatchable. That is total bullshit for a $90 set!! I'm still glad I bought this as it was refreshing to watch and is probably the best Gundam movie ever, but that just took away from some of enjoyment when I put in the disc and the PS3 is telling me no subtitle track exists. ARGH!!!

Overall, there isn't more I can really say about this movie without going into spoiler territory. If you are a fan of the franchise, this is a must watch. I give it an 8/10 stars.

Literally none of the Special bonus discs that come with these sets are ever subbed. Right Stuf puts that front and center in their listings for these sets when they put them up for pre-order. I agree it's a shame, but it's a well known fact. They've never subbed the extras on the Origin or Unicorn special releases either.

I will echo your thoughts on the OVA/film. It's really really, really, good. The additional footage added on to the end doesn't contribute much. But I like knowing that somewhere on the back side of the fortress that a Full Armor GM wearing a G Armor was fighting a Psychomu Zaku all while Amuro & Char dueled. I expected that clip to be longer but it was still a welcome bonus for those of us who shelled out for this set. I'm extremely pleased with just as I have been with the Origin BD's. This one despite being much shorter as a film and smaller packaging wise, was packed with far more extras than any other BD premium set I've gotten before.
